Hidden symmetries of two-dimensional string effective action.
The ten dimensional heterotic string effective action with graviton, dilaton and antisymmetric tensor fields is dimensionally reduced to two spacetime dimensions. The resulting theory, with some constraints on backgrounds, admits infinite sequence of conserved nonlocal currents. It is shown that generators of the infinitesimal transformations associated with these currents satisfy Kac-Moody alg...
متن کاملHidden Symmetries of the Open N=2 String
It is known for ten years that self-dual Yang-Mills theory is the effective field theory of the open N=2 string in 2+2 dimensional spacetime. We uncover an infinite set of abelian rigid string symmetries, corresponding to the symmetries and integrable hierarchy of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations. The twistor description of the latter naturally connects with the BRST approach to string quanti...
متن کاملHidden Finite Symmetries in String Theory and Duality of Dualities
Different compactifications of six-dimensional string theory on M4×T 2 are considered. Particular attention is given to the roles of the reduced modes as the S and T fields. It is shown that there is a discrete group of invariances of an equilateral triangle hidden in the model. This group is realized as the interchanges of the two-form fields present in the intermediate step of dimensional red...
متن کاملString Theory Symmetries
A brief review of the status of duality symmetries in string theory is presented. The evidence is accumulating rapidly that an enormous group of duality symmetries, including perturbative T dualities and non-perturbative Sdualities, underlies string theory. It is my hope that an understanding of these symmetries will suggest the right way to formulate non-perturbative string theory. Whether or ...
متن کاملTopics in Hidden Symmetries
This note being devoted to some aspects of the inverse problem of representation theory contains a new insight into it illustrated by two topics. The attention is concentrated on the manner of representation of abstract objects by the concrete ones as well as on the abstract objects themselves. This paper being a continuation of the previous three parts [1] explicates novel features of the gene...
